Welcome to my ramblings!

Happy 12 Weeks Baby Piglet

Who would have believed that the last twelve weeks would go by so quickly? I cannot believe that my little baby is already twelve weeks old. She’s no longer a new born but a proper little baby.

Despite the ups and downs, I have loved every minute of having her, watching her grow and evolve. We have even started getting giggles and squeals from her although she’s very grumpy if I try and make her do some tummy time.

She’s only twelve weeks but here’s a picture of her today wearing age 6 month clothes – she’s already outgrown most of her 3 month clothes bless her!

Baby Piglet 12 Weeks Today

And here’s a medal I received from Ameena at MummyinProvence for reaching my 3 month breastfeeding goal – I never thought I would get this far given all the hurdles and hoops I’ve had to jump through (hah hah, love the irony given I couldn’t walk!) but I did thanks in part to her support and encouragement. I’m so pleased I did it as it’s help me a lot and helped me feel closer to Baby Piglet.

She is beautiful. I admire your stamina and obviously your milk is the BEST thing for her. I fed both of mine until they were about 10 months and they were so healthy and happy. In fact, I only stopped because they were both so heavy! Enjoy Piglet.

Breastfeeding has been a battle for me as I had milk supply issues due to my body being so tired after the infection and fractured coccyx, plus the stress of everything didn’t help but with lots of support I managed. I only thought I would last a month, then six weeks, then 8 weeks and now here we are at 3 months!

Thanks! I never expected to get this far, would have been happy with 1 month but now I would always try and breastfeed. I would like to continue for another 3 months but she goes into daycare from September (to my greatest regret but need to earn an income) so know that I may struggle.

Thanks! Thankfully I had great support, from Ameena and also on twitter. The Mum’s on there are fantastic at offering support and advice to new Mum’s like me. If I’d been relying purely on the Dr’s and midwife’s I’ve seen here I don’t think I would have managed due to supply issues and them telling me to put her on a schedule – I wouldn’t have had any milk left😦
